BUY SOMETHING ELSE
Having had only good experiences with Subzero/Wolf, we went full-in with Subzero/Wolf appliances a year-and-a-half ago after a reno and move: 48" French Door Fridge/freezer, steam oven, Masterchef wall oven, cooktop, Cove dishwasher. Except for the dishwasher, every other one of these appliances has been causing us grief since the minute they were installed. Cooktop: most minor issues of the lot: one of the knobs sticks since installation; tech told us it would 'go away' with time & use. Lies. In terms of performance, it's a little uneven, some of the elements burn food at slightly above the low setting and then almost turn off at low. Steam Oven: Replaced the master control, water intake piece and temperature probe receptacle after exhausting all other options, within 1 year after installation. Despite all the issues, this is the oven I use the most and would recommend - from another manufacturer! Masterchef Oven: replaced internal master control/motherboard within 6 months, was taking forever and a day to heat up and would never stay at temp. Waste of money for this unit, go with regular convection oven, I don't find any benefit. My previous experience with a 20+ year old Wolf wall oven was so much better. French Door Fridge/Freezer: the gasket for the freezer drawer came ripped upon installation, so at one of the many tech visits, the technician noticed and ordered a replacement. This second gasket came rippled and bent, and did not lay flat against the door so it caused frost build-up, condensation which fell on the floor and worst of all, the vacuum seal no longer functions. The gasket looks flat now but still no vacuum seal, still getting frost. Another tech visit scheduled...who knows when/if this will be fixed. It's so frustrating because the fridge above works great at keeping food fresh for the longest time, but if I could go back in time, I would go with Miele. I am unbelievably disappointed with SubZero/Wolf quality and consistency. We spent a truckload of money and feel betrayed. NEVER AGAIN.
